This past Memorial Day Weekend, the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital celebrated its fourteenth year of “Burn Survivor Family Camp" at The Canyon Creek Sports Camp of Lake Hughes, approximately 18 miles east of Lake Castaic.

The Grossman Burn Center Family Camp offers an important emotional outlet for burn survivors and their families, as well as meets the goals for a comprehensive burn treatment center. More than 150 burn survivors, family, burn center staff, and volunteers thoroughly enjoyed this confidence-building event through recreational activities including waterfall hikes, go-karts, a ropes course, arts & crafts, talent show, archery, softball and soccer games, and star gazing in age-appropriate support groups.

Sharing personal experiences in a safe and fun environment has a tremendous emotional effect on everyone in attendance and speaks to the spirit of traumatic healing. Family Camp is funded by the Grossman Burn Foundation with major sponsorships from the Children’s Burn Foundation, Firefighters Quest for Burn Survivors and SoCal Burn Ride. A dedicated committee of Grossman Burn Center staff, burn survivors, volunteers, and family members plan, host, and manage the camp.

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…

This post was incredibly moving. The sense of community, resilience, and hope you described really stayed with me. It’s inspiring to see spaces where families can heal together and feel understood.

Thank you for highlighting such meaningful work.

This was incredibly moving to read. The sense of community, resilience, and support you described is truly inspiring. It’s clear how meaningful these experiences are for both survivors and their families, and I appreciate how respectfully and warmly this story was told. Reading posts like this really puts things into perspective. I came across a thoughtful reflection on a shrimpupaquatics review blog https://shrimpupaquatics.com/ recently that also focused on healing and shared strength, which made this resonate even more. Thank you for highlighting such important work.
